The ultimate comfort food—Peanut Butter & Jelly! What is it about this classic combination that feeds the body and soul? This nostalgic slice of Americana just never goes out of style.

Your business isn’t complete until you have a website; And Facebook page, a Twitter Account and an Instagram. A pinboard on Pinterest is on the back burner right now….a YouTube Channel is likely NEVER going to happen, a podcast is in our near future (yes, we have this in the works) and we’ve just opened… Continue Reading

Labor Day is the unofficial end to our summer as Korben’s school is back in session. There is no “back to school” clothes shopping or a mad rush around town attempting to select school supplies from Target, Staples or any other store when you have a preteen boy. As long as Korben has sports shorts,… Continue Reading

Earlier this week, I had my monthly in-person meeting/interview with this month’s Westchester Woman Wednesday choice, Kim Giannelli. I usually do my best to fit the person’s schedule and honor their restaurant (and meal) of choice. For some women, lunch is easier; for others, getting away mid-day is hard and they prefer dinner. Kim chose… Continue Reading

We have known Cassandra Caruso for a few years. She’s been our “go-to” design gal to source and produce last-minute corporate swag for my colleagues and team meetings and girl-scout and event swag for Erin’s social events throughout the year.

This is a book I wish my mom had given me at about 12 years old. Having my own 12-year-old daughter, I am happy to have it so I can educate her in a way she can understand, by reading a book that appears like another girl’s journal. Over the years, I have bought the… Continue Reading

I’m thrilled to share this month’s choice for Westchester Woman Wednesday. In fact, I should say “women” because it’s a trio of talent that has taken The Dance Gallery in Tuckahoe to a new level. The Dance Gallery had been previously owned by Stephanie Urbina (since 2012) and it was pretty much a one woman… Continue Reading

I’m a SAHM and I have an au pair. People ask me, “Why?” My reply, “Why not?” When I resigned from teaching full time, I never expected that I would be in the house with my kids 24/7/365, waiting for my husband to get home so I could throw the household responsibilities on him as… Continue Reading

Last weekend, my husband and I visited the brand new Collective Retreats site on Governors Island, Collective Retreats is known best for their glamorous camping concept.

“The owners of Southern Table wanted to create a new dining experience in Westchester, New York” and they sure did. This Pleasantville restaurant opened by the owners of Wood & Fire and Stone Fire New York a few months ago and I couldn’t be happier.

Erin recently introduced me to a new retail store called the Village Computer Shop located in the Scarsdale Village and I’ve been meaning to write a blog post about them, however I’ve been out of pocket as my day job has consumed so much of my life these past few months. Luckily, I have an amazing supportive… Continue Reading
